State of Metadragon – Sep 2016

Since It’s been a while I thought I’d post a small update on the site and what’s been on my mind. “Metadragon” hasn’t seen a lot of updates this year, mainly because I don’t know where to go with it. I’ve made smaller updates here and there, and just recently refreshed the Warframe Selection Guide with the newest Info on Titania. I still play the game every now and then, albeit by far not as often. My newest passion and most of my time is going into Overwatch with a bit of Battleborn and Heroes of the Storm thrown in. On the side I’ve been playing “Master X Master” during it’s short open Alpha phase and it’s really been something. I will definitely cover that game a lot more once it finally gets released, since it is a boatload better than the rather stagnant League of Legends, which i dropped a few months ago.

All the aforementioned games, though not the intensive “time-fillers” I sometimes crave for. However this is also a good thing by my standards as I start to prefer quick hop-in / hop-out sessions more than hourlong sessions in one game, plus it gives me opportunity to try a lot of new games as they come out. This is also the main reason I avoid playing the new World of Warcraft expansion – as good as it may be – just because I know that it would totally suck up my creative energies.

What content?

Mentioning creativity – Since my reviews have not been all that well-percieved (both comments and visitor clicks) I’ve been experimenting with a lot of different formats. One includes starting a (native German) Audioblog section which can be found in the Blog menu above. I’m not sure if I should venture into trying spoken English during my videos and blogs. Don’t get me wrong – I’m pretty fluent in English, but proper intonation and finding the right words for doing a podcast is another level I’m not feeling comfortable with at the moment. It’s already hard enough to do it properly in my native language. 😉 But it’s a fun format and I try to diversify a lot more into that direction as I have now the proper audio setup and personal enjoyment to do so.

Another venture I’ve been meddling around in video editing. You might know that this website has a video section, but to be blunt I’ve not been very good with keeping that up-to date and also haven’t settled on one style or format. If you’re still interested you can have a look at my latest Overwatch Video Montage and tell me what you think.

Well, I think that about sums up what’s been on my mind lately. It’s not much overall, but I still love writing and web design in general, so I will keep this site updated for the next few years to come. No matter If you are a regular visitor or just dropped by: I’d always hope to hear feedback from you because it helps me improve and find entertaining formats that stick.

Not much is known about the sequel to “Ori and the Blind Forest” yet, but that doesn’t rally matter. Given the already high quality of the first part the trailer makes it clear that the sequel will even try and top that.

One can safely assume that the 2nd installment of Ori will not be doing things mind-blowingly different, but most-assuredly pushing the bar once more in terms of 2D/3D animation quality, sound design and overall presentation. It’s as “high-quality” indie as it can get.

No idea what this is all about about? Just watch the trailer and pay attention to the little details in it:

If you even remotely care about platformers, give this one a look – oh and please play the first one in case you STILL haven’t done that yet. 🙂

Check, check and Check? Then “Dead Cells” might be interesting to you. The game oozes originality and polish already in its early stage, the combat looks satisfying as heck and versatile on top. However the long-term motivation needs to be proven, as this has always been a major problem with the roguelike genre.

With that said, this game might come out with its own flaws, but so far it is brimming with positive steam reviews, despite having started in Early Access just a few days ago. I’ll make sure to keep it very close on my radar.
